David Campos for District 9 Supervisor

BREAKING NEWS: DAVID CAMPOS RECEIVES SF BAY GUARDIAN's # 1 ENDORSEMENT!

-"The race to succeed Tom Ammiano, who served this district with distinction and is now headed for the State Legislature, is a case study in the advantages of district elections and ranked-choice voting."-SF Bay Guardian 10/08/08

-"Campos, a member of the Police Commission and former school district general counsel, arrived in the United States as an undocumented immigrant at 14. He made it to Stanford University and Harvard Law School and has worked as a deputy city attorney (who helped the city sue PG&E) and as a school district lawyer. He's been a progressive on the Police Commission, pushing for better citizen oversight and professional police practices. To his credit, he's stood up to (and often infuriated) the Police Officers' Association, which is often a foe of reform."-SF Bay Guardian 10/08/08

-"Ammiano argues that Campos has the right qualities to serve on the board — particularly the ability to get six votes for legislation — and we agree."-SF Bay Guardian 10/08/08 -Check it out here!

As a progressive, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what the Bay Guardian represents for the Progressive Community and this endorsement is a tremendous honor.

Best,
David Campos

I have been fortunate to have been able to start a conversation with the merchants of 24th Street in the Mission.
